Yasmine Anlan Huang and the Fragility of Growing Up

Between hesitation and newfound certainty, the art of Yasmine Anlan Huang emerges from a confrontation with the fragility of growing up. In her works, now at the center of an exhibition, the artist explores the passage from adolescence to adulthood as a collective rather than solely individual experience. Through video, text, and installations, Huang captures the tension between insecurity and the desire for affirmation, transforming everyday episodes into universal narratives. Her references span from the language of ideologies to the intimate realm of memory, evoking the unfulfilled promises of globalization and the need for new forms of solidarity. She does not confine herself to telling her own story: in her projects, the self becomes a mirror of a suspended generation - the so-called zillennials - bound together by regression, anxiety, and the search for provisional communities. The exhibition unfolds as a coming-of-age narrative that weaves vulnerability with resilience, suggesting that adulthood does not mean relinquishing sensitivity, but transforming it into testimony.
